Math::Random::ISAAC::PP - Pure Perl port of the ISAAC PRNG algorithm
version 1.004
This module implements the same interface as Math::Random::ISAAC and can be
used as a drop-in replacement. However, it is recommended that you let the
Math::Random::ISAAC module decide whether to use the PurePerl or XS version
of this module, instead of choosing manually.
Selecting the backend to use manually really only has two uses:
-
If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with dispatching method
calls to the appropriate backend modules.
-
If you are testing the module for performance and wish to explicitly decide
which module you would like to use.
Example code:
# With Math::Random::ISAAC
my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC->new(time);
my $rand = $rng->rand();
# With Math::Random::ISAAC::PP
my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::PP->new(time);
my $rand = $rng->rand();
See the Math::Random::ISAAC manpage for the full description.
